Ben Higgins and Wife Jessica Clarke Expecting Baby No. 2
Former Bachelor Ben Higgins and his wife, Jessica Clarke, are expanding their family.
“The world is blessed because @jessclarke_ is becoming a mother of two girls and Winona is so excited about becoming a big sister!” Higgins, 37, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, July 5. “Waylon still carries the pressure of carrying on the Higgins name and I personally am overwhelmed with joy to be experiencing it all! Higgins girl number 2 coming towards [the] end of year. In the words of Jessica’s grandma ‘when you do certain things, certain things happen.’”
Alongside the message, Higgins posted a photo of the pair’s daughter holding a doll upside down. Clarke, for her part, shared the happy news in a post with the family of three.

Words still are hard for me, I won’t accurately articulate what just happened.”
He continued, “But for the last 2 mornings I wake up feeling like it was a dream, reminding myself of the blessings of Jesus, then looking over to see Jessica and Winona and being mentally reunited with the truth that I am a dad and a husband and that we are a family. Life starts again for us, a new chapter we enter into, and so many moments of lacking the words but feeling God inspired love.”
The year 2025 was clearly the year of Bachelor Nation baby girls, as evidenced by three stars from Ben Higgins’ season of The Bachelor.

Higgins, who tied the knot with Clarke in 2021, shared that the couple conceived daughter Winnie through intrauterine insemination (IUI).
“We planned this, and we didn’t know how many steps we’d have to take. We didn’t know how much help we’d have to get,” Higgins exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2024. “We have a lot of friends who struggle with infertility and who struggled through the process and just hearing from them and learning from them, we knew we wanted to plan and be ready. … We set that date and we started trying, and it happened for us easier than we expected.”
